*Buff Orpington Thread!*

[TarMac]

PLEASE HELP!!!! My buff orpington pullet has tried to lay and egg, I'm not certain if this is her first or not. She left the box and continued to squat and push and when I look there was an egg hanging outside her vent attached by a moderately thick membrane. I am completely panicked and don't know what to do for her. I don't think she is egg bound because the egg is no longer inside her body it it hanging completely out of her vent. I tried soaking her in warm water and noticed no difference. Please respond!!!!!

Oh my gosh! Have you posted on the emergency forum? I posted there and got immediate responses. If you have a feed store near by you should call them they might be able to help.

I am no expert by any means, but if it is out, then I think she will be ok! Hope you get your answers on the Emergency thread!

Get Preparation H, and grease up everything. See if you can work the egg past the membrane with the Prep H. This has worked for me before.

Am I supposed to go through the membrane or is there like a small hole??? because when I inspected it the membrane is completely solid.

There will be like a small hole in the end of the membrane. Like dragon lady said, get prep h and grease it all up and work with it. That membrane is what keeps the egg from touching any part of the bowel and the egg has for some reason gotten stuck, causing her to prolapse some.
